The thing is, none of these are MEANT to be a replacement for a BBQ, any more than they're a replacement for a stovetop, an oven, a broiler, at toaster, or a microwave.
They're more like a wafflemaker or one of those grilled-sandwich makers - in fact, the G5 has interchangeable plates for exactly those functions.
We had the original one for years... upgraded to the G5 about 10 years ago. They're great for cooking something quick, in a small footprint, and they do a damn good job of steaks, chops, chicken breasts, and other meat cuts.

Sure, why not?

I've seen the infomercials before and they say CLEANING IS A BREEZE JUST WIPE DOWN AND YOU'RE DONE. Is that even sanitary?

How do you normally sanitize dishes? Hot water rinse. What happens when you plug the grill in? Gets hot. As long as you've properly wiped the residue off, why wouldn't it be sanitary afterward?
If you're that worried about it, just GET one with removable plates, and throw'em in the dishwasher.
